Yea VW snobs must really be hitting their heads now....let's just ignore that every single piece of that Seat that makes it as fast as it is was just taken over from VW... chassis, suspension, brakes, engine, gearbox...and that without VW this Seat would never even exist. They have the same mechanics, it's just set up differently. But stupid people like you don'tunderstand that having the same hardware, and setting it up differently makes a big difference in performance, and also that setting up the car to be a bit faster on the track usually makes it worse on the road, because you lose stability and safety in poor weather and bad roads, and you lose a lot of comfort and refinement as well. Leon R is set up more aggressively, more track focused, Golf R is set up for the road. I can guarantee you that while Golf R might be a touch slower on a perfectly dry, perfectly flat track with an even surface (and remember it's 5 door vs 3 door), because of it's setup its MUCH more comfortable and refined on the road, and better, more stable, safer, smoother to drive on the road, where it will spent 99,9% of time. You can be sure as hell that it will also be faster on real roads with bumps, different surfaces, cambers, different weather conditions, etc....because in case you didn't notice, real roads are nothing like smooth, flat and dry race tracks. So, while people with limited intellect might jump onto the "lololol vw sucks" bandwagon, Golf R is still a better car overall and in 9/10 situations faster than Leon R. So yea...poor bastards who will buy the Golf R over the Leon...they will have to spend their time in a car that's better in every way. (faster on track doesn't mean better when it comes to road cars, for reasons previously stated, anyone who doesn't realize that clearly is clueless about cars).
